Transportation in Peoria

# Transportation Overview: Peoria **Getting Around Peoria** Peoria primarily operates as a car-dependent city, with personal vehicles being the most common mode of transportation. Public transit is available through CityLink, the local bus system, which serves the greater Peoria area with multiple routes connecting key destinations throughout the city. For visitors without a car, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft operate in the area and provide flexible transportation options. Taxis are also available, though less commonly used than ride-sharing alternatives. **What First-Time Visitors Should Know** The city's layout and limited public transit frequency make having access to a vehicle highly advantageous for exploring Peoria efficiently. If you're relying on public transportation, plan extra time for connections and check current CityLink schedules, as service may be limited during evenings and weekends. The downtown area and riverfront district are relatively walkable once you arrive, but attractions are spread throughout the metro area. **Airport Transportation Tip** General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport (PIA) is located about 10-15 minutes from downtown. For current transportation options from the airport, including ride-sharing pickup locations, taxi services, and any available shuttle services, check with your accommodation or the airport's ground transportation information upon arrival.
